in connecticut, that means 42,938 connecticut working -- i'm sorry. 33,600 connecticut individuals will lose unemployment benefits under the emergency unemployment compensation program. i met with a group of these folks recently and i know there are some -- a lot of these people are white-collar people who -- and some of them are middle or in their middle years of life, lost their jobs in companies that were hit by the recession. they're having an impossible time finding new employment. and believe me, they are working so hard to try to -- to try to get it. 33,600 of them would be set adrift without unemployment benefits if we go over the fiscal cliff. one estimate by the national economic council is that there would be $2.5 billion less in consumer spending in connecticut and that's basically because tax hikes will take a bite out of middle-class budgets and, frankly, some people will lose their jobs. i'm afraid will lose their jobs in many industries, including the defense industry, which remains a foundation, as the occupant of the chair knows, of our state's economy. the n.e.c. also

i think because of the tragedy at the elementary school in connecticut, there is a lot of momentum about gun control and taking up that issue right away. a lot of people in the religious community are really advocating on that and there is a ground swell. some of that is the emotion over what happened and that is horrible. a lot of people are worried that it will fade. then you have the fiscal issues which are there and really important. >> i think kim is absolutely right about guns. i think that we have, this is an occasion when we really can take steps that we haven't been able to take for a long time, because a lot of people were so riveted and so deeply concerned by the death of all these children. so i think they're, i hope we do something in that area. i think there's a real opportunity on immigration reform this year, partly because president obama won such an overwhelming share of the latino vote, he knows he owes something to that constituency but partly because republicans do not ever again want to get such a low share of the latino vote, and i think there's an opening there. a
